I don't know that I needed to hear this album before I shuffle off, and it's probably way too soon to really consider it in that light. That said, this a soulful and smart album, and I enjoyed it. Thanks for recommending it. My main critique is that I wish sometimes that Sampha had been more restrained with the use of the vocals. There are moments when something really cool and nuanced is going on musically, and his vocals get in the way. Fave Songs: Dancing Circles, Jonathan L. Seagull, Spirit 2.0
